BkiUf-I25V5jgpkz3Bd3 | Jonah Hill and Stevie Nicks were the unlikely heroes at the Adam Levine-Behati Prinsloo nuptials in Cabo San Lucas.
Jonah Hill and Stevie Nicks were the unlikely heroes at the Adam Levine-Behati Prinsloo nuptials in Cabo San Lucas. According to E! and basically the rest of the internet, the Maroon 5 frontman and ubiquitous commercial presence had Jonah Hill perform his wedding ceremony and Stevie Nicks perform at the reception.
what even was adam levine's wedding. the olsen twins designing the dress, jonah hill officiating it and stevie singing.
Aside from Coco Rocha, the majority of the bridesmaids were Victoria Secret models and they wore white dresses. Meanwhile, the groomsmen sported black Hawaiian print shirts and black trousers."
Being childhood friends with the polarizing, prom date-stealing Adam Levine seems like a pretty serious albatross, but Hill is apparently fine with it. Earlier this summer, Hill attested to it while under fire on The Colbert Report during a 22 Jump Street press lap.
Before we get started, I just want to get something out of the way, the elephant in the room. Learned something disturbing recently. Um...it was revealed that you are friends with Adam Levine. Would you like to apologize, because I have had 'Moves Like Jagger' in my head for three years and someone needs to say they're f--king sorry for that."
Perhaps relieved that Colbert was referencing Hill's controversial gay slur, he responded thusly: "He's a great guy—the song's too catchy." | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdbPxaKgQKN2tUbSk | SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian newlyweds kissing on the backseat of their hire car were unaware their chauffeur was street drag racing, until a police siren broke their romantic bliss and ended the race.
The chauffeur, clocked at up to 130 kph (80 mph) racing a young driver in a rental car, was fingerprinted on the side of the road and the hire car confiscated.
"It's alleged that as the traffic light turned green both the (cars) accelerated harshly from the intersection and continued to travel at speed along the highway," police said in a statement.
Both drivers were taken away by police, while newlyweds John and Laina Tauranga were escorted home in a police car. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfUXxK7Tt52mM_MUr | AMX Touch Panel Earns Cisco CCX Certification
By AVNetwork Staff (Systems Contractor News) 2012-05-02T13:14:25Z
AMX announced its MVP-9000i Touch Panels have earned the Cisco Compatible Extensions Version 4 (CCX v4) certification.
This certification ensures that the MVP-9000i is interoperable with a Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure and has met the Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA/WPA2 specification addressing wireless network security, performance, reliability, diagnostics and network statistics gathering.
For financial institutions and organizations charged with protecting sensitive information, security concerns are paramount and often prohibit the use of wireless touch panels. CCX v4 addresses these concerns with an enterprise-grade solution that affirms device credibility and performance. Now, IT departments can confidently and securely integrate standards-based wireless control into their networks.
"We specifically went with Cisco for 9000i Wi-Fi support in hopes that someday we could offer the market a wireless panel they could standardize on, regardless of security requirements," said AMX chief technology officer Robert Noble. "Today is that day. We are thrilled to be the first and only manufacturer to earn the CCX stamp of approval."
"For far too long, our dealers have been grappling with wireless security issues. Previously "secure" and "wireless" couldn't even be used in the same sentence", said Kevin Bowyer, AMX vice president, U.S. partner sales. "Now, they can offer their financial, government and other security-sensitive clients what no other in the industry can - the freedom of secure wireless facility control in an enterprise grade solution."
The MVP-9000i Touch Panel delivers robust wireless performance through its built-in 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi card with antenna diversity in addition to wireless security features. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdUA4uBhi43uX5zNf | Microsoft Heeds Warning that Billions of Passwords are Compromised
Microsoft Warns that Billions of Passwords are Compromised
While a highly connected state fosters collaboration on an immense scale, it's also a security nightmare. If a hacker gains access into a company's network, they can potentially gain access to those company's networks connected to it. That is referred to as a supply chain attack. Today, just about everyone has information somewhere on the internet, and many people use the same password to get access to this information. If an attacker obtains your credentials in an attack, they can potentially use those same credentials to access all of your information. Last week, Microsoft issued a stern warning that billions of passwords are compromised. Their Detection and Response Team (DART) reported that they have witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of "password spray" attacks this year. A spray attack is different than a traditional brute force attack in which an attacker perpetually tries to crack your password. There are two types of spray attacks:
The first is to reuse your stolen credentials. Once they know your credentials for a shopping site, they then try that same password for your banks, social media account, etc.
The other way is to utilize many bots at once to brute force many accounts simultaneously using only a small number of popular passwords. As an example, they may attempt to use a list of ten passwords for 10,000 user accounts.
The increase of these password spray attacks may be contributing to the record number of data breaches reported in 2021. In a congressional hearing in early October, the Identity Theft Resource Center reported that the number of breaches thus far in 2021 (1,291) has already eclipsed the total number of breaches reported in all of 2020 (1,108).
IDENTIFY INDICATORS OF COMPROMISE (IOC)
A growing number of endpoint security solutions now alert you when a utilized password is found listed on the dark web. Newer versions of the Chrome browser offer this service as well. There are also dedicated password tools and websites on the market today that will compare your username and passwords against large databases of compromised credentials.
Many cloud services such as Office 365 offer security analytics to alert you about excessive logon attempts, or attempts made from new geographic locations.
CONTAINMENT (If IOCs are identified)
While it is recommended that users change their passwords regularly, it is essential to do so immediately once a compromised password has been reported. This means changing your password for every online account that compromised password has been used for.
Once an organization has identified that a user account has been compromised, that account should be temporarily disabled. Their assigned computers should be scanned for malware and if possible, reset to a known good image. Personnel should also be trained to be aware of phishing attacks.
Users should never use just one password for everything. At the least, use multiple passwords amongst your accounts. Ideally, use a unique password for every account.
While the 8-character password has been a mainstay for a decade or more, security specialists are now recommending that it be lengthened. For instance, Microsoft's latest Security Baseline Policy for Windows 11 enforces a 14-character password. Some experts are even recommending up to 16-character password. Whatever the length, they should have complexity mandates that incorporate both upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and alphanumeric characters.
Users that don't want to juggle multiple elongated passwords should consider a password manager that stores all passwords in an encrypted vault, requiring them to only know one password to access the vault.
Password protection is a practice that is no longer secure today. Companies should implement multifactor authentication (MFA) solutions that require users to provide a second form of verification.

The canals are cleaned by using sequential files and then filled with a bio-inert material called gutta percha. During treatment leaves the tooth fragile and prone to fracture. Depending on the amount of tooth structure that is lost, a post is placed for added retention of the crown. Lost tooth structure is replaced with a strong filling material, and with a crown restores form and function of your tooth. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

CSAAWU has accused the South African Police Services of colluding with farm owners when it comes to farmworkers laying charges against farmowners. This comes after a farmworker was taken to a deserted place and threatened with violence and death following a break-in at a farmer's house in Paarl.
Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa
The Commercial, Stevedoring, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union (CSAAWU) has accused the South African Police Services of colluding with farm owners when it comes to farmworkers laying charges against farmowners. This comes after a farmworker was taken to a deserted place and threatened with violence and death following a break-in at a farmer's house in Paarl.
Enrico Baatjies had been working as a gardener and in the vineyard for the last five years. On Tuesday 22 August, he was called into a car by the farm owner and driven to the edge of the farm. He told Elitsha he did not suspect anything. "On the way, he asked me if I know where we are going and I said no. When we got to the veld, he asked me if i smoke tik and why I broke into his house and I must not f&*k with him and tell him the truth because he can kill me right there and no one will ever know," Enrico told Elitsha. "It was in a deserted place and all the time he was saying that his gun was in the side panel of the door."
The 30-year-old father of one said the ordeal lasted for two hours and the farmer told him not to tell anyone and that he must tell his co-workers that they went to pick up prunes.
Baatjies says that his ordeal did not stop there because when he went to the police station to lay a charge of abduction and being threatened with violence, he was told to go back home and apologise to the farmer. According to Enrico, whose parents were also farmworkers, he was told this by a "white female cop".
Also read: Protestors clash with police in Grabouw
The shopsteward at the farm, Johannes Rooi, said that they support Enrico and are standing together to make sure that what happened to Enrico will not be done to anyone else at the farm.
When Elitsha was speaking to other farmworkers, a young man from the farm claims that he was slapped by the farmer for not going to school. "My parents knew why I was not in school that day but he came to our house and he slapped me and I fell off the chair," said Johan Joseph.
Another farmworker, Alexandra Deetlefs, said that they do not get paid for overtime. "They only see us as tools and they do not see us as humans," he explained.
Deetlefs's views were echoed by CSAAWU National Treasurer Peter Presence. "What happened here is similar to what happened to the worker in Mpumalanga [Editor: referring to the attempted murder and kidnap case where a worker was put in a coffin]. They don't see the human side of the workers as long as workers do their job and make profits for the farmers," said Presence. He is also the organiser for the union in the Cape Metropole.
"When workers go to the police they are not helped at the police station and it's clear to us that the police are in the pockets of the farmers. There are two similar instances in the Paarl area where the police came and went to the farmer's house and without talking to the workers, they put them in vans. This is a common phenomenon throughout the country," said Presence. "We have escalated the case to the provincial office as it is clear that the cops at the police station are protecting the farmer."

The Police Ministry said they will be engaging the communities through Imbizos on how to fight crime in farming areas and that they will escalate the issue to the Provincial Commissioner.
CSAAWU has vowed to mobilise farmworkers and communities to put pressure on the government and the police ministry to take such issues seriously.

China's Pact to Persecute Catholics, by Elizabeth Yore

Pope Benedict Links Dominance of 'Homosexual Marriage…Abortion' to Spiritual Power of 'Anti-Christ'
Flags of China and Vatican City. Credit: FreshStock/Shutterstock.
By Elizabeth Yore, Breitbart, May 2, 2020
The Vatican's secret deal with the Chinese government signed on September 22, 2018, has done nothing to improve the religious freedom climate of Chinese Catholics.
Based on the findings of the just-released 2020 Annual Report from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), the situation in China continues to deteriorate for followers of the Roman Catholic faith.
USCIRF is making several "recommendations to enhance the U.S. government's promotion of freedom of religion or belief abroad in 2020." In its report, USCIRF recommends 14 countries to the State Department for designation as "countries of particular concern" (CPCs) because their governments engage in or tolerate "systematic, ongoing, egregious violations."
China is again cited as a country of particular concern for its increased persecution of all religions. The report also cites that the religious freedom conditions in China are worsening with technology employed to track religious believers: "The Chinese government has created a high-tech surveillance state, utilizing facial recognition and artificial intelligence to monitor religious minorities." ….

Althea Bell is still heartbroken by her mother's tragic, premature death--and tormented by the last, frantic words she whispered into young Althea's ear: Wait for her. For the honeysuckle girl. She'll find you, I think, but if she doesn't, you find her.
Adrift ever since, Althea is now fresh out of rehab and returning to her family home in Mobile, Alabama, determined to reconnect with her estranged, ailing father. While Althea doesn't expect him, or her politically ambitious brother, to welcome her with open arms, she's not prepared for the chilling revelation of a grim, long-buried family secret. Fragile and desperate, Althea escapes with an old flame to uncover the truth about her lineage. Drawn deeper into her ancestors' lives, Althea begins to unearth their disturbing history...and the part she's meant to play in it.
Gripping and visceral, this unforgettable debut delves straight into the heart of dark family secrets and into one woman's emotional journey to save herself from a sinister inheritance.

BkiUa4jxaKPQoqJ9_e2_ | Q: Java JPanel Reusable view I have created a set of buttons that I want to be at the top of every page of my application.
Rather than having to recreate the setup in every class, is it possible to create it once and include it in every class, similar to a reusable view in Android.
My code for the button setup is below:
public Buttons() {
setLayout(null);
JButton btnNewButton = new JButton("New button");
btnNewButton.setBounds(10, 11, 89, 23);
add(btnNewButton);
JButton btnNewButton_1 = new JButton("New button");
btnNewButton_1.setBounds(101, 11, 89, 23);
add(btnNewButton_1);
JButton btnNewButton_2 = new JButton("New button");
btnNewButton_2.setBounds(192, 11, 89, 23);
add(btnNewButton_2);
textField_2 = new JTextField();
textField_2.setBounds(104, 42, 86, 20);
add(textField_2);
textField_2.setColumns(10);
System.out.println("HELLO");
}
My code to create the class is below:
public static void gui(){
frame = new JFrame("name");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setResizable(true);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(new Buttons(), BorderLayout.WEST);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setBounds(200, 0, 500, 500);
}
I have tried adding the following line to this method to add a second set of buttons:
frame.add(new Extras(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
but it only adds the second object to the display.
A: Create a class (or method) that creates a JPanel which holds all those buttons you want. Then, just add a new instance of that JPanel to your GUI. Pseudo-code:
public JPanel createButtons() {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
// add buttons to panel
return panel;
}
public void gui() {
frame = new JFrame("name");
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(createButtons(), BorderLayout.WEST);
// ...

BkiUdas5qg5A51O-Lxdd | What is a Differential Algebraic Equation?
In this form, the presence of algebraic variables leads to a singular mass matrix, since there are one or more zeros on the main diagonal.
By default, solvers automatically test the singularity of the mass matrix to detect DAE systems. If you know about singularity ahead of time then you can set the MassSingular option of odeset to 'yes'. With DAEs, you can also provide the solver with a guess of the initial conditions for y'0 using the InitialSlope property of odeset. This is in addition to specifying the usual initial conditions for y0 in the call to the solver.
In the fully implicit form, the presence of algebraic variables leads to a singular Jacobian matrix. This is because at least one of the columns in the matrix is guaranteed to contain all zeros, since the derivative of that variable does not appear in the equations.
The ode15i solver requires that you specify initial conditions for both y'0 and y0. Also, unlike the other ODE solvers, ode15i requires the function encoding the equations to accept an extra input: odefun(t,y,yp).
DAEs arise in a wide variety of systems because physical conservation laws often have forms like x+y+z=0. If x, x', y, and y' are defined explicitly in the equations, then this conservation equation is sufficient to solve for z without having an expression for z'.
ode15s and ode23t — If you do not specify an initial condition for y'0, then the solver automatically computes consistent initial conditions based on the initial condition you provide for y0. If you specify an inconsistent initial condition for y'0, then the solver treats the values as guesses, attempts to compute consistent values close to the guesses, and continues on to solve the problem.
ode15i — The initial conditions you supply to the solver must be consistent, and ode15i does not check the supplied values for consistency. The helper function decic computes consistent initial conditions for this purpose.
DAEs are characterized by their differential index, which is a measure of their singularity. By differentiating equations you can eliminate algebraic variables, and if you do this enough times then the equations take the form of a system of explicit ODEs. The differential index of a system of DAEs is the number of derivatives you must take to express the system as an equivalent system of explicit ODEs. Thus, ODEs have a differential index of 0.
The ode15s and ode23t solvers only solve DAEs of index 1. If the index of your equations is 2 or higher, then you need to rewrite the equations as an equivalent system of index-1 DAEs. It is always possible to take derivatives and rewrite a DAE system as an equivalent system of index-1 DAEs. Be aware that if you replace algebraic equations with their derivatives, then you might have removed some constraints. If the equations no longer include the original constraints, then the numerical solution can drift.
If you have Symbolic Math Toolbox™, then see Solve Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs) (Symbolic Math Toolbox) for more information.
Most of the options in odeset work as expected with the DAE solvers ode15s, ode23t, and ode15i. However, one notable exception is with the use of the NonNegative option. The NonNegative option does not support implicit solvers (ode15s, ode23t, ode23tb) applied to problems with a mass matrix. Therefore, you cannot use this option to impose nonnegativity constraints on a DAE problem, which necessarily has a singular mass matrix. For more details, see .
The differential index of this system is 1, since only a single derivative of is required to make this a system of ODEs. Therefore, no further transformations are required before solving the system.
The function robertsdae encodes this DAE system. Save robertsdae.m in your current folder to run the example.
The full example code for this formulation of the Robertson problem is available in hb1dae.m.
Use a constant mass matrix to represent the left hand side of the system of equations.
Set the relative error tolerance to 1e-4.
Use an absolute tolerance of 1e-10 for the second solution component, since the scale varies dramatically from the other components.
Leave the 'MassSingular' option at its default value 'maybe' to test the automatic detection of a DAE.

BkiUfcc5qhLBzMvmWHUa | Christmas in Spice World, fue la tercera gira del quinteto Spice Girls y también el primero sin Geri Halliwell (ex-componente del grupo). En este tour las Spice Girls interpretaron sus nuevos temas y los de los discos anteriores, fue un tour con miles cambios de vestuario, bailarines, luces, efectos especiales...
Información general
Tras varios proyectos en solitario y los nacimientos de los hijos de Melanie B y Victoria, las cuatro Spice Girls se reunieron en la Navidad de 1999 para ofrecer una mini-gira por Gran Bretaña, las "navidades en el mundo Spice". Ocho serían las citas, mitad en Mánchester, mitad en Londres. El grupo cantó sus éxitos de siempre, junto con canciones nuevas, como "Holler", "Right back at ya" o "W.O.M.A.N.", y una mezcla con canciones navideñas que puedes ver en el listado como "Christmas medley".
El escenario
El escenario tenía forma poligonal, con cuatro lados, en los que en algunas partes del show se colocaba cada una de las Spice Girls. La banda se sitúa en el centro, donde también había un podio; en él se ponían las chicas cuando se unían para hacer coreografías como la de "Stop". Precisamente durante "Who do you think you are", el podio se elevaba para permitir al público ver mejor a las chicas y conseguir un efecto espectacular. Detrás del podio había una pasarela que llevaba a un escenario grande que tenía cuatro pantallas; dos delante y dos en los extremos.

BkiUgArxK6wB9lIs_pcl | Q: Capybara Acceptance Tests: undefined method `visit' for #I'm in the process of upgrading an old krufty application to Rails 3.1. The company has been using RSpec and Capybara for acceptance tests. We've got some acceptance tests under spec/acceptance that are failing with the following message:
Failure/Error: get @url
NoMethodError:
undefined method `get' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1::Nested_1:0x007feb7c0abf58>
Here's an example of one of the tests (from the top of the file):

...
When consulting the oracle, I keep stumbling across issues mentioning the 'visit' method such as this: https://github.com/jnicklas/capybara/issues/814
I also keep coming across posts related to this article: http://alindeman.github.com/2012/11/11/rspec-rails-and-capybara-2.0-what-you-need-to-know.html
I'm not sure that I'm having the same issue. I can post my spec_helper.rb and acceptance_helper.rb if they will be of any use.
I guess it's worth noting that these specs passed before I updated rspec-rails and capybara.
My gut feeling is that perhaps rspec-rails is clobbering some of capybara's methods, or some of capybara's methods are simply no longer being loaded. Could that be the issue?
A: Try and add config.include Capybara::DSL in spec_helper.rb, inside the config block. like so:
RSpec.configure do |config|

2) Customising the DataFormWebPart to show / hide certain fields, and expanding regions etc
3) Changing certain SharePoint links to point to the custom form. For example, adding / hiding items on the ECB menu.
You can initially create (1) using SharePoint Designer (insert a custom list edit form for you library) and then copy the markup into the Application page.

BkiUbuw5qrqCygvbPSu3 | Covid-19 Community Crisis Response
Community Foundation of Randolph County establishes a fund
As the nation struggles with a collective loss on many societal levels, so too the Randolph County community finds those in crisis, now within a larger crisis. Resources are quickly dwindling for local homeless shelters, food pantries, and non-profits shifting financial priorities. In some cases, operations and services are already depleted of both financial and human capital when the need is greatest.
The Community Foundation of Randolph County has developed the RANDOLPH COUNTY RELIEF FUND to provide funding to non-profits needing assistance. The funding would be delivered to those non-profits for emergency response needs focused on providing basic food, clothing, shelter, addiction management, and safety for those made more vulnerable to disease due to their circumstances. The Foundation has sent out a COVID-19 Local Impact Survey to past grantees and other area non-profits to assess and document both the short and long-term implications of the COVID-19 crisis. COMPLETE SURVEY
"There are needs, admittedly, we don't yet know about." According to CFRC Executive Director, Lisa Jennings, "We are having conversations and soliciting funding from our donors and the community to meet immediate needs. We are surveying non-profits to assess needs. Many of those needs will continue in the coming months, if not years, in recovery from this challenging time. Help is needed and we are answering the call with the Randolph County Relief Fund."
Non-profits seeking a grant for assistance can APPLY HERE
Yes, I/WE want to help with the Randolph County COVID-19 Relief Fund by DONATING NOW!
The Community Foundation of Randolph County makes grants to increase the capacity of Randolph County's not-for-profit organizations to respond effectively to the needs of the community.
The Randolph County YMCA preschool received a grant to purchase iPads for students.
In general, the Foundation prefers funding for:
Start-up costs for new programs
One-time projects or needs
Capital needs beyond an applicant's capabilities and means.
In addition, the field of interest funding is available on a limited basis for the areas of:
Civic and community development
Environmental and historic preservation
Historically, the Foundation has funded projects in the areas of community betterment, arts and culture, health and human services, youth, economic development and education.
What We Do Not Fund
The Foundation will not normally consider grants from the Community Enrichment Fund for the following purposes:
Individuals other than scholarships (separate applications exist for scholarship programs)
Organizations for religious or sectarian purposes
Make-up of operating deficits, post-event or after-the-fact situations
Endowment campaigns
For any propaganda, political or otherwise, attempting to influence legislation or intervene in any political affairs or campaigns.
Services such as fire, police, schools, parks, etc. that are the responsibility of government and tax supported. (We will, on occasion, however, support special projects of these agencies)
In addition, the Foundation board is reluctant to approve grants to any organization for the purpose of maintaining an on-going operating budget or for multi-year grant requests. (Please contact the Foundation office before submitting a multi-year grant request). However, exceptions to this may be made at the discretion of the Board.

Could you help me, how can i use image for submitting form, to work all browser? Thank you.
A: I can't see your code because it got cut, but let me guess. You are testing like this:
if($_POST['Submit'])
while you should test like this:
if($_POST['Submit_x'])
because the image inputs will send Submit_x and Submit_y, and not Submit (but certains browser send this too, so you should contemplate various cases).

Egypt opens Sneferu's 'Bent' Pyramid in Dahshur to public
NBN Editorial Team
DAHSHUR, Egypt (Reuters) – Egypt opened to visitors on Saturday the "Bent" Pyramid built for pharaoh Sneferu, a 101-meter structure just south of Cairo that marks a key step in the evolution of pyramid construction.

Tourists will now be able to clamber down a 79-meter (86 yards) narrow tunnel from a raised entrance on the pyramid's northern face, to reach two chambers deep inside the 4,600-year-old structure.
They will also be able to enter an adjoining 18-meter high "side pyramid", possibly for Sneferu's wife Hetepheres, opened for the first time since its excavation in 1956.
The "Bent" Pyramid is one of two built for Fourth Dynasty founding pharaoh Sneferu in Dahshur, at the southern end of the Memphis necropolis that starts at Giza.
Its appearance is unusual. The first 49 meters, which have largely kept their smooth limestone casing, are built at a steep 54 degree angle, before tapering off in the top section.
The angular shape contrasts with the straight sides of Sneferu's Red Pyramid just to the north, the first of ancient Egypt's fully formed pyramids and the next step toward the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Architects changed the angle when cracks started appearing in the structure, said Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.
"Sneferu lived a very long time…the architects wanted to reach the complete shape, the pyramid shape," Mohamed Shiha, director of the Dahshur site, said.
"Exactly where he was buried — we are not sure of that. Maybe in this (Bent) pyramid, who knows?"
Authorities are seeking to promote tourism at Dahshur, about 28km (17 miles) south of central Cairo. The site lies in the open desert, attracts just a trickle of visitors, and is free of the touts and bustle of Giza.
As they opened the pyramids, archaeologists presented late-period mummies, masks, tools and coffins discovered during excavations that began near the Dahshur pyramids last year and are due to continue.
"When we were taking those objects out, we found…a very rich area of hidden tombs," Waziri said.
The promotion of Dahshur is part of a wider push to boost tourism, an important source of foreign revenue for Egypt that dipped steeply after the country's 2011 uprising before gradually recovering.
Archaeologists also unveiled the nearby tomb of Sa Eset, a supervisor of pyramids in the Middle Kingdom, which has been closed since its excavation in 1894 and contains finely preserved hieroglyphic funerary texts.
Foreign ambassadors invited to attend the archaeological announcements were led sweating into the tight spaces of the tomb, which is not expected to be opened to the public for another two years.

Warspite
By Iain Ballantyne
ME Naval Non-Fiction - Famous Ships
The WW1 and WW2 super dreadnought battleship Warspite was a legend, even in her own lifetime, winning the most battle honours of any British warship. In this fascinating book, Iain Ballantyne tells the story of Warspite through the eyes of the men who sailed in her, some of whom are speaking of their experiences for the first time. The author worked closely with the war veterans of the HMS Warspite Association to bring the epic story of their battleship to life, ensuring the book is a fitting tribute to a remarkable generation of fighting men. The text is enhanced by a fine selection of photographs, many previously unpublished, and specially commissioned artwork.
While covering the careers of all the vessels to carry a proud fighting name, the book concentrates on the seventh Warspite, for its time a cutting edge warship that was the brainchild of Winston Churchill and the remarkable Admiral John Fisher. That mighty vessel saw action in some of the greatest naval engagements of the 20th Century, including the battles of Jutland, 1916, as well as Narvik, Calabria, Taranto and Matapan in the 1940s, before sailing for the Far East to join the struggle against the Japanese fleet. At one point during the Battle of Jutland, Warspite held off the entire German battle fleet. During the Second Battle of Narvik, in April 1940, she helped wiped out nearly the entire Kriegsmarine destroyer force, while at Matapan, in 1941, as flagship of the formidable Admiral Andrew Cunningham, the Spite delivered a devastating blow against the Italian Navy. Warspite's guns also proved decisive in helping Allied armies liberate north-west Europe in 1944.

Italian roads go solar with first sun powered motorway
Posted on October 31, 2010 by Carlo Ombello

Most people will be surprised, but Italy was the first country in the world to build motorways. In fact, the A8 "Milano-Laghi" motorway ("Milan-Lakes", as it connects the city of Milan to Lake Como and Maggiore) was completed in 1926. Time has passed and all developed nations now boast wide motorway networks, a strategic infrastructure that helps interconnecting people, places and is ultimately essential to economic growth. But Italy will soon be able to claim a new "first": the A18 Catania-Siracusa motorway, a 30km addition to Sicily's 600km motorway network, will be a fully solar-powered motorway, the first in its kind.
Work is well underway to complete commissioning of this cutting edge infrastructure, which will be the most advanced motorway in Europe, including many outstanding features in terms of control systems, surveillance apparatus, tarmac quality, safety features (one of its new tunnels has also been awarded for its levels of safety). Construction activities are concluded, and a quarter of its solar photovoltaic (PV) panels were already operational by the end of September. Pizzarotti & Co., the general contractor for this project, aims at having all of them online by early December (the panels are therefore feeding Sicily's electricity grid with clean energy even before it's used on site). Road testing is due in November, while on 1st January 2011 the Catania-Siracusa motorway will open to the public. By then, 100% of its electricity needs will be met by the PV panels installed along the road: 80 thousand of them. Lights, tunnel fans, road signs, emergency telephones, all the services and street furniture installed on the A18 will be run with solar power: distributed over a surface of 20 hectars, the photovoltaic array was obtained through the construction of 3 artificial tunnels on a 100m wide, 2.8km long stretch of road, a project with an overall cost of €60 milion. Annual solar electricity production is estimated at about 12 million kWh, which will save – constructors claim – the equivalent of around 31 thousand tons of oil and 10 thousand tons worth of CO2 emissions every year.
The Catania-Siracusa motorway is one of the first experiments where a major infrastructure and distributed power generation are integrated in one design, surely the first at this scale. Furthermore, all the green areas involved in this project will be subject to a major environmental renovation scheme: the contractor provided for planting thousands of trees and plants, improving existing tree lines and hedges, increasing the extension of local woods. This however is not the first time renewable energy and sustainability are key to a road project in Italy . In the last few months, still in Sicily, solar panels for a total of 368 kWp where installed along the A20 Messina-Palermo: they now provide electricity for all the buildings located along the 183km motorway. A thousand km away in northern Italy, the A22 Brennero motorway (which crosses the Alps towards Austria) saw the installation of a soundproofing barrier along a residential area of the motorway route: the 1km long barrier is made of solar panels able to produce some 680,000 kWh per year, thus covering 20% of the local electricity needs.
But this new paradigm in energy management is not being pursued just on single, isolated schemes: a further and more meaningful example of this shift in Italy's infrastructure design approach is witnessed through the widespread implementation of LED road lights and photovoltaic car park shelters being rolled out in all Italian motorways by Autostrade per l'Italia (ASPI), the leading European concessionaire for toll-motorways construction and management, with more than 3,400km of the 6,500km long Italian motorway network. In fact Autostrade per l'Italia launched a series of initiatives to promote the use of renewable sources for the production of electricity and improvement of energy efficiency in its buildings and infrastructure. The plan provides for production of electricity from renewable sources, energy saving measures for tunnels and service areas lighting, replacement of heating and air conditioning systems with high-efficiency plants, use of geothermal energy underground to produce heat and electricity and tri-generation (production of electrical, heating and cooling energy) in the main office buildings, and finally a "passive" improvement at their headquarter buildings in Rome and Florence and outlying structures (section departments, maintenance points, snow point). This actions will result in a reduction of CO2 emissions of about 40% and substantial savings in maintenance costs. In 2009, 6,378 lighting fixtures were replaced, while for 2010 the installation programme counts a further 10,766 LED units, reaching approximately 50 percent of the total. An extended programme for the construction of 100+ photovoltaic generation sites is also being completed in 2010: a first phase provided for the installation of patented PV sun-shading shelters at 87 service areas (for a total of 4MWp), while phase 2 involves design and construction of several PV sites, ranging from 200kWp to 1MWp (a mix of stand-alone and integrated modules), adding a further 3MWp.
With Italy's solar energy boom now invigorated by the renewed Feed-In Tariff scheme "Conto Energia", which gained the country enormous investments and the second position in the global PV market (with a projected 1,500MW installed capacity in 2010 alone), energy-driven design is finally making its way to mainstream thinking.

BkiUf6LxK1fBGsWmyKK9 | Most people aspire to be film makers or movie directors in Nigeria. Some just wish to be on set, working with either of these intelligent film directors from Nigeria to gain popularity and make money from acting in Nigeria movie industry.
To my own view, I think these notable film directors put all their best in making sure that Nollywood films are more mature than what it used to be before in the past, there by taking Nigerian Nollywood movies to another level in Nigeria.
Therefore, I took time in researching and sorting out these movie directors contacts in Nigeria for fans who wish to be actors and actresses or better still wants to be a film or movie director in Nigeria and abroad.

Pfft! Secret doors, who needs 'em? What do I care about secret doors?... and the unparalleled delights they keep hidden from the world!
Can this solution be updated for the Mac OS 10.9.1 update?
Easy make sure the settings are correct as the above said but simply go into Vent and map the PTT (Push To Talk) button to a button on your keyboard. Mine is mapped to the Left Control button. Generally speaking you do not leave your Mic open when your in vent. PTT is greatly preferred.
I've had to do this with both Mumble and Vent. You need to go into the security settings and check the "let this program control my computer" box. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 |

The sorting of the header files works well, except for the file-to-main-include mapping. The main file is sorted by rule 16 and thus always appears at the end.
I have tried removing the sorting of the include files (i.e., commenting out parameters IncludeBlocks and IncludeCategories, but it still does not work. I thought that since the fallback style is LLVM, it would at least work in this case.
If I do not use my file, and instead specify -style=llvm in the command line, the sorting of the main file works.
I am using VS Code 1.45.1 on Debian 10, with extension Clang-Format by xaver. The clang-format executable is version 10.0.0.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
A: *
*Your .clang-format file is missing the IncludeIsMainRegex setting. Normally I would expect it to default to a reasonable setting, and everything would work fine. But given your problem, you should make sure it isn't set somewhere (perhaps you're using a different .clang-format file than you think you are? or perhaps your clang-format executable has somehow been modified?).
The default setting is IncludeIsMainRegex: '(Test)?$'. Other reasonable values might be '([-_](test|unittest))?$' (which matches what the predefined Google and Chromium styles use), '$' (meaning no additional filename suffix), or '' (meaning any filename suffix). See the documentation for more information.
*When your Clang-Format extension by xaver runs the clang-format executable, does it provide the filename on the command-line? Or does it, perhaps, stream the file into stdin? If the latter, then clang-format would not know the filename, and so would not be able to detect which include file is the "main" include file. One way that can be dealt with is by using the -assume-filename command-line option (documented here), but of course that is up to the extension to do.
*Finally, remember that the "main" include file is sorted with priority 0. Your setting for IncludeCategories has all include files that start with < sorted with priority -1, so they will be sorted before the "main" include file.

BkiUdNE5qg5A59MXGyNc | Hawaii is Fifth Star of Five-O Series
The islands of Hawaii will figure prominently in the new Hawaii Five-O television series. Producers refer to Hawaii as the "fifth character of the show."
"Our president is from Hawaii. We have a perfect storm of Hawaii being relevant and an important hub internationally," say executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. They describe Hawaii as a gateway into the United States and from the US out to the world. This allows them to tell not just American stories, but ones with an international flavor as well. "Hawaii is an international destination and the stories will reflect that position in the world rather than the neighborhood murder."
Kurtzman and Orci produced Fringe and the recent Star Trek movie. The Hawaii Five-O creative team also includes Peter Lenkov, whose credits include 24 and CSI:NY. Lenkov says the original Hawaii Five-O was his dad's favorite television program. "It is important to honor the original show," he says. "One of the pitfalls in a remake is not respecting or being passionate about the original material. We are all very passionate about the original show and understand what made it work."
The producers spoke this week at Comic-Con in San Diego, along with the director of the pilot, Len Wiseman (Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard). Wiseman and Lenkov were asked what it was like working in Hawaii. They responded, "People in Hawaii opened arms and doors to us, because of the brand. Nobody said no to us, we were able to do whatever we wanted to do." Lenkov said he did some ride-alongs with the police department and spent a lot of time talking with them to get a sense of the types of crime that are unique to this area of the world.
Hawaii Five-O won the award for Most Anticipated New Show at Comic-Con. Fans had a chance to win one of three surf boards signed by the cast, limited run t-shirts, collector edition posters, ringtone cards with the show's theme song and a "vacation getaway to the filming location of H50 on the tropical and vibrant island of Oahu" — the show's fifth star. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Yes But No But Yes
WEEKEND SUBWAY WACKINESS
I'm pretty proud of how quickly I learned my way around New York's subway system. I'm confident about finding the right train to take to the right spot (at least in Manhattan).
But sadly, that applies largely to the prime-time action of weekdays. The weekend schedules? Different story, and a baffling one as well:
"To reach the West Side of Manhattan from Brooklyn, take the 2 to Franklin or Atlantic Avs and transfer to the 4. Take the 4 to Bowling Green and transfer to the 5 on the opposite platform. The 5 makes uptown 2 stops from Chambers St to 149 St-Grand Concourse."
You got all that?
It's bad enough for civilians, and even the subway officials can't dope it out:
William Henderson is executive director of the Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Even he has had his troubles.
"My son was going to a test prep class on Saturday mornings," Mr. Henderson said. "I do this stuff for a living, and I'm sitting there on the platform as the train rolls in, trying to read the sign to figure out if this A train will stop where we needed to stop."
I've been lucky in that I haven't gotten too flummoxed on a weekend ride. Again, intra-Manhattan stops don't seem to be affected as much as the outer-borough lines. More than anything has been the slower schedules, with waits of 20 minutes or more for trains that run every 5 minutes Monday through Friday. It's a drag.
Of course, the best alternative is to just walk, or else grab a cab if it's really too far away. Otherwise, step onto your train and cross your fingers. If you get totally lost, just stay on until Monday rolls around and the normal schedule resumes!

TWIN BIRTHDAYS, SINGLE CARD
My twin nephews are turning 5 this weekend, and I'm pretty pleased with myself that I managed to hunt down a birthday card that covers the both of them. (I'm not 100 percent sure that it's a twin-targeted Hallmark product, but it's got two identical cartoon animals on it, and vague language about a twice-as-fun celebration, so close enough.)
As I said, they're turning 5, and they're boys. So to generalize, these kids aren't going to care too much about the card — they're going straight for the presents (which I'm still working on, and no, a joint gift ain't gonna cut it). The card will go straight to their mother. And while I'm sure she'll appreciate it, not all mommies like the idea of a single card for multiple siblings:
My girls have only had one birthday and all the cards were joint cards. All their birth congratulation cards were joint cards, too, which made it very difficult for putting into baby books.
Which is the heart of it: I doubt most kids mind at all. It's the obsessive mothers who are playing mommy to the hilt who bug out over this sort of thing. Also, as I alluded, I think little boys have less attachment to the frilly extras like birthday cards; if they were girls, I might think twice about lumping them together. And this is strictly applies to their early years; as they get older and really start asserting their individuality more, I think individual cards will be more of a requirement.
I guess I should be thankful I'm not dealing with triplets. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdyg4uzki0w_tk8-T | The goal of science education is more than just providing students with a knowledge of facts. Mastery of the subject can no longer be evaluated solely in terms of students' ability to recall specialized terminology, memorize isolated facts, or repeat a theory. Rather, students must be given opportunities to learn through investigation. In doing so, they can practise and become proficient in various scientific investigation skills. These skills not only develop critical thinking and allow students to extend their understanding of science; they are also useful in students' everyday lives and will help them in pursuing their postsecondary goals, whether in science or some other area of endeavour.
The Pre-AP Grade9 Academic Science program (SNC 1D5) at Milliken Mills High School is based on the assumption that students who choose to pursue this course will have a set of high academic skills that includes STRONG PROBLEM SOLVING AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. Students will be able to use abstract thinking to attain current concepts and content in a rigorous science curriculum that is run during one semester. It will also serve as a platform to prepare students for success in Advance Placement courses (when they are offered at Milliken Mills High School) and to strengthen independent learning skills. This Pre-AP G9 Science program will expose students to a range of rigorous assessment strategies that are considered fundamental for success in post-secondary settings (University, College and SHSM).
SNC 1D5 will enable students to extend their understanding of various concepts in four strands in science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space Science and Physics. Students will relate these concepts to technology, society and the environment and continue to apply their critical thinking skills in the process of scientific investigation and scientific reasoning. Students will apply their understanding of scientific theories when they conduct scientific investigations in the four strands in science.
This course is strongly recommended for students who have attained a L4 (80 and over) in G7 and G8 Science and have covered concepts in Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space Science and Physics on a regular basis. You should be recommended to take this course by your G8 guidance counselor. This should be done in collaboration with the MMHS G9 guidance counselor and the MMHS Department head of Science.
Biology - Sustainable Ecosystems, Complexity of Ecosystems, Nutrient Cycles (Carbon cycle, Nitrogen Cycle and the Water cycle), Biodiversity, Positive and Negative Impacts (Anthropomorphic) on Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems and Sustainable Practices.
Chemistry – Contributions by Researchers to the Atomic Theory, properties of the modern Periodic Table, Properties of Elements and Compounds, Comparing Atomic and Molecular Structures and Writing Ionic and Covalent Formula.
Earth and Space Science – Big Bang Theory, Nature of Electromagnetic Radiation and Light, Red-Shift Theory of Planets in the Solar System, Scientific Notation and Standard Notation Calculating Distances in the Universe (light years - ly and astronomical units - AU).
Physics – The Nature of Static and Current Electricity, and drawing series and parallel circuits, calculating current, voltage and resistance in series and parallel circuits, Ohms Law, Kirchoff's Law, Renewable and Non-Renewable Sources of Electricity.
Prerequisite: You should be recommended to take this course by your G8 Guidance Counselor. This should be done in collaboration with the MMHS G9 Guidance Counselor and the MMHS Department Head of Science.
This course enables students to enhance their understanding of concepts in four areas of study. These are Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space science, and Physics, and of the interrelationships between science, technology, society, and the environment. Students are also given practical and hands-on opportunities to further develop their scientific investigation skills. Students will plan and conduct scientific investigations and participate in Tutorials by applying their conceptual knowledge learned from assigned Readings. Students will develop their understanding of scientific theories related to the metabolic connections between cells and organ systems in animals and plants;. They will conduct chemistry experiments that show various types of chemical reactions ( e.g. Synthesis Reactions, Decomposition Reactions, Single Displacement and Double Displacement Reactions), with a particular focus on acid–base reactions; They will also identify forces that affect climate and climate change; and investigate the nature of Light and the interaction of light and matter.
• Plants and animals, including humans, are made of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that are organized into organ systems.
• Students will learn about the Tenets of the cell theory and create wet mounts of representative Plant and Animal cells.
• Student will also relate how all eleven organ systems in humans work together to maintain Homeostasis.
• Students will also carry out dissections on at least one representatives from the three of the six Kingdoms (Kingdom Animalia, Plantae and Fungi).
• Developments in medicine and medical technology can have social and ethical implications.
• Students will study how chemicals react with each other in predictable ways.
• Students will research how chemicals are used to address environmental challenges.
• Earth's climate is dynamic and is the result of interacting systems and processes.
• Global climate change is influenced by both natural and human factors.
• Climate change affects living things and natural systems in a variety of ways.
• People have the responsibility to assess their impact on climate change and to identify effective courses of action to reduce this impact.
• Students will investigate dual properties of light – They will conceptualize that it can travel as packets of energy (Photons) and investigate how it travels as a Wave.
• Students will learn that Light has characteristics and properties that can be manipulated with different types of Mirrors (e.g. flat mirrors) and lenses (e.g. concave) for a range of uses.
• Students will discuss how society has benefited from the development of a range of optical devices and technologies. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 |

Exploring the Future of Data and Tech industries
The Future of Talent is your guide to attracting the best people to your organisation through leading with purpose, understanding how to leverage the globalisation of talent, adopting strategies that make your organisation attractive and preparing for a more diverse workforce.
Leading with Purpose
From what we see in the market, it's more important than ever to lead with purpose. The technology and data industries are full of people who have realised they can work for almost any business of their choosing and those people are looking to connect, on a purpose level, with businesses, their leaders, and the work those businesses are doing.
Purpose in business can come in a variety of expressions. From charitable support to sustainable business, to showing your team how their work adds value to the business and its people, to giving them a voice in how the business directs and thinks about its external purpose driven activities.
Globalisation of Talent
Talent is more global than ever. Work from home has been on everyone's mind but people accessing the world's best talent are looking further afield to places like Europe and North America. They are thinking about how to bring the benefits of a global talent base into their businesses.
Organisations can no longer afford to ignore this if they want to be competitive at home and abroad. It's a crucial part of the future workforce planning.
Talent Magnetism
Data and technology talent is in high demand and responsibility is shifting firmly to businesses to make themselves more appealing, attract the right talent and, most importantly, retain that talent.
The data and technology communities are tight knit and your business' reputation for how it treats talent will precede it in every part of the community. Think carefully about the messaging you're putting out there and the experience your employees and applicants are having.
Talent pools are increasingly diverse, but this isn't necessarily reflected in boardrooms, at C-Suite level and on the front lines.
This is because of a lack of active, purposeful, inclusion. For hiring managers and executives, that means two things: the first is to stop hiring people that look like you, think like you and have the same socialisation and experience as you. The second is building a place where those people are included, welcomed and safe.
Diversity and inclusion walk hand in hand. People should be encouraged, and able, to bring their full and authentic selves to their work and be safe in the knowledge that that won't lead to hostility and, if it does, that they'll be supported and believed.

BkiUbQHxK5YsWTJsN1OW | Relics, Shrines and Pilgrimages: Sanctity in Europe from Late Antiquity
Antón M. Pazos
March 26, 2020 Forthcoming
Available for pre-order. Item will ship after March 26, 2020
Since Late Antiquity, relics have provided a privileged spiritual bond between life and death, between human beings and divinity. Royalty, nobility and clergy all tried to obtain the most prestigious remains of sacred bodies, since they granted influence and fame and allowed the cult around them to be used as a means of sacralization, power and propaganda. This volume traces the development of the veneration of relics in Europe and how these objects were often catalysts for the establishment of major pilgrimage sites that are still in use today.
The book features an international panel of contributors taking a wide-ranging look at relic worship across Europe, from Late Antiquity until the present day. They begin with a focus on the role of relics in Jacobean pilgrimage, before looking at the link between relics and their shrines more generally. The book then focuses in on two major issues in the study of relics, the stealing of relics (Furta Sacra) and their modern-day scientific examination and authentication. These topics demonstrate not only symbolic importance of relics, but also their role as physical historical objects in material religious expression.
This is a fascinating collection, featuring the latest scholarship on relics and pilgrimage across Europe. It will, therefore, be of great interested to academics working in Pilgrimage, Religious History, Material Religion and Religious Studies as well as Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Cultural Studies.

BkiUbTw4ubnjoscfNFwl | Overeem will serve as commentator for GLORY: COLLISION event
The biggest event in kickboxing history just got even bigger – with the announcement UFC star Alistair Overeem will serve as a special guest commentator for this Saturday's epic GLORY: COLLISION super-card.
The GLORY: COLLISION main event sees the hotly anticipated clash between GLORY heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven and the most dangerous puncher in kickboxing - Badr Hari.
It is a dream fight fans feared would never happen – but it finally goes ahead as the headline attraction of a show which sold out the 12,500 seat Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, over a month to go.
Overeem said: "It's huge fight, a super-fight, and I was already going to attend the fight (as a fan) and was planning on being ringside. I wouldn't miss this fight, and then GLORY asked me to do color commentating and I'm excited to do so."
Overeem, 36, is the only fighter to win major world championships in both MMA and kickboxing, having held the defunct Strikeforce and K-1 Grand Prix titles before he entered the UFC. The English-born Dutchman also has history with Hari – having gone 1-1 versus the controversial Moroccan in two legendary kickboxing fights in 2008 and 2009.
You can watch the Hari vs Overeem rematch – for free – here.
Overeem added: "I've fought Hari twice, and I trained with him in 2013 years later, and I have trained with Rico. They are both great fighters, I know this first hand, and I have a lot of respect for them. I'm very excited by the fight finally happening. This is one of the greatest kickboxing fights of all time – don't miss it!
"Badr Hari – I don't want to say "legend" because Hari isn't old, he's in his prime – but he's accomplished everything in kickboxing. And Rico is the new kid on the block who is looking to join people like Badr and Semmy Schilt as an all-time great."
Pushed for a prediction, Overeem said: "Rico has not beaten quite the names that Hari has. Badr has beaten a who's who of kickboxing, when he puts his mind to it he can accomplish anything he wants in that ring. His power is extreme – and he wants to knock Rico out. I can see that happening."
"The Reem" will join Todd Grisham and "Bazooka" Joe Valtellini in the commentary booth, while Ron Kruck and Whitney Miller will serve as backstage reporters.
The GLORY: COLLISON Pay-Per-View event begins at 4pm/1pm ET/PT and is available for pre-order now.
Before the Pay-Per-View event, the GLORY: COLLISION Prelims will be available FOR FREE. The five-fight Prelims begin at 1:30pm/10:30am ET/PT and can be enjoyed by clicking here.

At Campanile the other day, male heads swiveled and we swear the three businessmen at the corner table were drooling, and not over the menu. All the fuss was over Jillian Barberie, the big personality who livens up the weather on "Good Day L.A." for Fox's KTTV.
The bodacious Barberie, 34, has taken off her jacket and cranked up the banter, along with the morning show's ratings. This is the weather reporter who once referred to a "cutoff low" as a "John Wayne Bobbitt weather phenomena."
The weather in Los Angeles might be boring, but lunch with Barberie was an adventure. We have no patience for TV Barbie dolls, but Barberie is the exception. She's earthy, smart, funny and real. Her encyclopedic knowledge of L.A. true-crime stories, especially the Manson murders, proves there is intelligent life on Planet Jillian.
She has energy to burn. Besides her morning job, Barberie holds down two other gigs. She does weather for jocks on Fox's "NFL Sunday" show, and she hosts the new FX stump-a-star show, "The Test." Lately, her face has been pasted on buses and billboards all over town.
Halfway through the Caesar salad, Barberie stood to show off her new tattoo, flipping up her Fred Segal baseball jersey and yanking down the top of her miniskirt. The boys at the corner table nearly got whiplash. There, in the small of her back, was a Union Jack and the letters DMO, for the name she was given at birth: Dawn Mary O'Ryan. She was adopted and raised in Ontario, Canada.
Barberie married pro baseball player Bret Barberie, now retired, after meeting him during her days as a TV reporter in Miami. They have five cats, two dogs and no kids. A lifelong curiosity about her roots recently prompted her to hire a private investigator to find her birth parents. Upon meeting them, Barberie learned that they were married three months after she was born and stayed together 11 years. She also discovered she has two sisters, ages 28 and 22. The younger one works as Barberie's personal assistant.
Naturally, Barberie has shared her personal drama with viewers. Her candor is part of her charm. And it's great for ratings. "Good Day L.A." has knocked KTLA, owned by our keepers at Tribune Co., from its longtime perch as the most-watched local morning show.
As we headed toward the parking valets, Barberie let out a squeal. A tanning product had turned her legs a streaky orange. Explains the long skirts she's been wearing this week. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfd3xK6Ot9Pm3xa_L | Rebuilding the poor oil-rich country of Libya

By Kari Huus
Let's imagine that post-Gadhafi Libya avoids devolving into chaos. For the new leadership, there's good news and bad news. The good news is black gold. Libya has some of the finest oil in the world to generate revenue. The bad news: The economy is in a shambles and needs to be recreated from scratch.
After four decades under the corrupt and repressive leadership of Moammar Gadhafi, most of the economy is state-run — though poorly run — with little private enterprise to take up the slack. The leadership inherits a damaged infrastructure that was rickety even before the war, and it could take years to ramp up oil production to pre-war levels. To build a healthy, diverse economy will require an overhaul.
"It's going to be a tough economic situation," says Mohsin Khan, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. "The new Libyan government will have a choice to make — which way it wants to go. That's critical in determining how it rebounds."
As it stands, Libya has a highly centralized economy that relies on oil exports for 95 percent of its revenues. About 70 percent of the population relies on government paychecks, many through money-losing state-owned companies.
Before the conflict, the country was able to produce 1.8 million barrels of sweet light crude oil a day, but billions in oil revenues were diverted into the pockets of the leadership or spent on the military. The country's schools, hospitals, roads, ports, sewer systems and other facilities have badly deteriorated.
"To Libyans, it's shameful that many countries have developed in the last 20 to 30 years, and we are still backward," says Idris Traina, a longtime opposition leader and president of the Libyan American Association of California. "They didn't spend enough on education or health. For any significant sickness, most (Libyans) go outside the country — to Tunisia, Europe, Jordan or Switzerland."
After a young Col. Moammar Gadhafi rose to power in 1969, he imposed his own brand of socialism, one that morphed into a kleptocracy at the top. For many years, Libya was under international sanctions for its role in terrorist activities. Gadhafi began reopening the door to private enterprise only in 2003, when he was trying to revive relations with the world, but the private sector remains marginal.
"Despite modest improvements in the business climate, Libya's bureaucracy remains one of the world's most burdensome," according to the conservative Heritage Foundation. In the Washington think tank's 2011 ranking of economic freedom around the globe, Libya was 173rd, the lowest in the Middle East and North Africa region.
So far, the members of the National Transitional Council have largely been consumed by driving out Gadhafi and have given little hint of who or how they hope to manage the economy.
Traina says his contacts in the council are leaning strongly in favor of a free market for Libya that taps into its citizens' latent potential. As it stands, many Libyans are unemployed or underemployed.
"Usually, people who live under dictatorship for a long time, they lose their creativity. I think if people are given the freedom and the corruption is minimized, I think Libya will be in very good shape," he says, noting the immense enthusiasm he saw on a recent trip to rebel-held areas. "People are looking forward to working hard and changing the country."
To move or dismantle Libya's socialist economy is likely to dislocate many people who have been working in Libya's state industries or simply warming chairs in its vast bureaucracy. Libyans talk about diversifying — into tourism or alternative energy, perhaps, but those industries don't yet exist to absorb workers.
"Gadhafi ran a very complicated patronage system that guaranteed people jobs," says Khan. "That's why it worries me that the new council, when it takes over, will not want to upset the people (by) taking hard decisions of letting people go from government employment."
Spending decisions will also be difficult.
Libyans "are concerned about food prices, jobs, subsidies, employment schemes. The new politicians coming in will be promising them that. As a result, spending can be fairly high right away," says Khan. Unless they can be fiscally conservative, he says, they risk wiping out their existing national wealth.
Because the oil industry has been largely shut down during the fighting, Libya will need to rely initially on an estimated $150 billion in assets that were stashed overseas and have been frozen by the international community, according Khan. The process of unfreezing those funds for Libya's use is just beginning.
Before it runs out, it will be imperative to get the oil industry up and running again, since there's essentially no other source of government revenue. It could take many months — or years, depending on damage caused by the war — to make necessary repairs, get the oil engineers back in the country and ramp up production.
"It's not as if they can just open the spigots and the money will come flowing in," says Khan of the Peterson Institute.
Another legacy of the Gadhafi era is the corrosive force of corruption.
Traina, an optimist, believes most Libyans are fundamentally averse to corruption and hopes the new leadership will shun it.
Gamal Khalil, a Libyan-American scientist doing research at the University of Washington, says the problem has spread well beyond Gadhafi's inner circle. He says he's seen it even within his own family in Libya.
"It's becoming so that if you haven't got yourself a piece of the pie here, some people would call you a loser. There's so much money around, and you didn't take advantage of it," he says. "It's definitely a challenge."
One thing that everyone seems to agree on is that Libya's new leadership needs to tackle first is restoring basic infrastructure, which sustained $15 billion in damage during the conflict, according to an estimate by Libya's Central Bank.
"It is in really poor shape," says Khalil, who spent part of his career teaching in Libya. "For that, a lot of well-established companies from the West and China will need to come forward. The money exists — that's the good news."
There's another reason for optimism about the economy, at least in immediate post-war period.
"The only good news about wars is the economic boom that follows," says Khan. "Rebuilding infrastructure creates jobs."

BkiUc0A5jDKDyIlaYGc_ | In a new collaboration with the tech service MUSO, the U.K.-based Association of Independent Music is making it easier for labels to track cases of piracy, an issue that's becoming increasingly widespread.
Even in the era of streaming, piracy remains a major problem for record labels big and small. Now, an association focused on smaller labels is taking steps to helpg those labels to fight back. The Association of Independent Music, a U.K.-based industry group, announced a new member offering that would allow labels to better track both privacy and attempts at content protection. The free tool, offered by the antipiracy firm MUSO, makes it possible to both automatically take down unauthorized music and to track the extent of the issue using an analytics dashboard. "This new partnership gives our rightsholder members access to a highly sophisticated antipiracy solution, free at the point of access, and allows them oversight of their online content and piracy activity," said AIM CEO Paul Pacifico in a news release. "Pirates steal both money and consumer data with no return for artists. This service will allow AIM members to focus on the very positive relationships between artists and their fans by cutting out the pirates and is a huge win for us all." MUSO's own monitoring highlights the sheer scope of the problem. The company reports that there were 73.9 billion visits to piracy websites in 2017, a leap of 14.7 percent from the prior year. "The impact on independent music businesses can be particularly hard without a consistent mechanism to remove unlicensed content from the Internet," MUSO CEO and cofounder Chatterly said in the news release. "We are therefore delighted to be partnering with AIM to provide a new free-to-label digital antipiracy service." AIM's member labels, despite not being considered major labels in the traditional sense, are nonetheless heavy hitters. Among the artists currently represented by an AIM label are Grammy winners Adele, Radiohead, The National, Bon Iver, and Vampire Weekend. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbVc5qoaAwj4XM8Fk | We carefully consider the views of our neighbours when planning and making business decisions. Incorporating these views helps us to develop projects responsibly and deliver the energy that economies need to thrive.
Through experience we have learned that working with communities where we operate helps us to share greater benefits from our projects. It also makes good business sense. By incorporating the views of our neighbours early into project planning, we can design and deliver projects more effectively and avoid delays. Early engagement with communities helps us to prevent disruptions to livelihoods and commerce, and to reduce impact on local wildlife and biodiversity.
As well as communities, we work with governments, environmental experts and non-governmental organisations to design and deliver better projects. Adjusting pipeline routes or the timing of seismic surveys to minimise disturbance to communities or wildlife are examples of how early engagement with our neighbours has improved our approach.
When we develop a new project, or an expansion to an existing facility, we follow a defined process that helps us to identify and address potential impacts on people and the environment. There are key decision points at which we determine whether to move forward, or not. At each of these points we assess the regulatory, environmental and social impacts, alongside commercial and technical considerations. The process includes conducting environment, social and health impact assessments to understand and manage risks and opportunities. As we make investment decisions, we also consider the potential cost of a project's CO2 emissions.
We thoroughly consider and adopt the recommendations from these impact assessments throughout the lifetime of the project. We often make these assessments public.
In particularly complex projects or operations, we have social and environmental specialists who integrate these aspects into development plans and decisions. Following the successful use of this approach in North America, we are increasingly employing these specialists worldwide. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUeH3xK1Thg9qFeR2d | The former secretary of state called on the graduates at the Virginia Military Institute to maintain a "fierce defense of the truth."
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took an apparent jab at President Donald Trump on Wednesday during a commencement speech to graduates at the Virginia Military Institute, in which he deplored the nation's "growing crisis in ethics and integrity" and leaders who "conceal the truth."
Tillerson, who was fired by Trump in a tweet as the country's top diplomat in March and replaced with then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo, called on the graduates to maintain a "fierce defense of the truth."
"As I reflect upon the state of our American democracy, I observe a growing crisis in ethics and integrity," he said. "If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom."
Tillerson added, "When we as people, a free people, go wobbly on the truth, even on what may seem the most trivial of matters, we go wobbly on America."
Tillerson, who previously served as the chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil, had a rocky relationship with the president during his tenure in the administration. As secretary of state, he often seemed out of the loop or in disagreement with Trump on major foreign policy decisions.
The tension between Tillerson and Trump was heightened after NBC News reported last year that he had referred to the president as a "moron" after a July meeting at the Pentagon, according to three officials familiar with the incident. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

The main aim of air quality management is reduction of air pollution in Slovenia caused by SO2, as stated in the Decree on Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Particulate Matter and Lead in Ambient Air (OJ RS No 52/02) and the EU Directive (1999/30/EC). Legislation provides that average 24-hour concentration of SO2 may exceed the value 125 μg/m3 not more than three times per calendar year, and average 1-hour concentration of SO2 may exceed the permissible 1-hour value not more than 24 times per calendar year. Since, according to the Decree, the permissible 1-hour value will reach the target limit value 350 μg/m3 in 2005, the indicator also shows the exceedances of this target limit value for the purposes of comparison with the preceding years. The target is to ensure that the requirements of this Decree are fulfilled. Reduction of air pollution due to SO2 is also a target of the National Environmental Action Programme.
The figures clearly demonstrate that Slovenia has in some urban areas achieved the required standards. A number of individual and smaller combustion plants fuelled with coal was transferred to central power plant heating and cleaner fuels. The situation is improving in Europe as well. Exception in Slovenia is Šoštanj, where the monitoring site is influenced by emissions from the thermal power plant. The established hourly and daily limit values are exceeded too frequently, but the problem is being resolved with desulphurisation units having been installed. There are also occasional exceedances of limit values in the Zasavje urban areas, which have an unfavourable geographical position, especially in winter period when thermal inversions occur and are, in addition to local emission sources, also affected by the influence of emissions from the Trbovlje Thermal Power Plant. Particularly unfavourable conditioned occured in December 2004, when there was a long period of very strong thermal inversions.
The data for Slovenia are taken from the National authomatic measurement air quality network database (ANAS) maintained by the Monitoring Office (Environmental Agency of the Republic of Slovenia) and Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant measurement database provided by the Electroinstitute Milan Vidmar, Ljubljana. The database is updated monthly; the data are available in their entirety upon the completion of final annual review.
Information on the ANAS automatic network monitoring sites:
Ljubljana had two monitoring sites until 2001 – Figovec and Bežigrad. By the end of that same year, it was put out of operation, since the Bežigrad monitoring site was considered representative enough for determining the impact on health of the majority of Ljubljana's population. The monitoring site in Maribor is located directly at the carriageway in the city centre, near an intersection; therefore the air samples show a higher level of traffic-related pollution. Since traffic is not the source of SO2, the monitoring site is also representative for a wider urban area. In Celje, measurements are taken in the hospital complex located just outside the city centre. The monitoring site is representative for a wider urban area. Monitoring site in Nova Gorica is placed on the edge of the city. The Trbovlje and Zagorje monitoring sites are set up at roadside locations in the city centres. The Hrastnik monitoring site, however, is not directly affected by the influence of traffic-related emissions. All three monitoring sites are representative of the above mentioned urban areas. The Rakičan by Murska Sobota monitoring site is representative for rural area in the vicinity of a town.
Information on the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant automatic network monitoring sites:
The Šoštanj monitoring site is located east of the city and in the event of south-western winds is exposed to the influence of emissions from lower stacks of the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant. The measured SO2, concentrations are not representative for the Šoštanj urban area. The monitoring sites at Velenje and Topolšica are representative for the Velenje urban area and Topolšica with close surroundings.

BkiUeMM4dbghfTKFPAm8 | Another alphabet sensory bin. This one is all things letter B.
I set up this invitation to explore the letter B on the living room floor. All three kids jumped in right away and my niece F quickly noticed that everything in the bin started with the letter B. They each grabbed a balloon, which is exactly why I included three balloons and three pieces of bubble wrap. I didn't want any fights breaking out because different kids wanted the same object.
Digging in after removing all the balloons.
K examining the letter B.
Perhaps the most interesting items in the bin, though, were the beads. Both F and J took turns scooping them up and dumping them.
Then F asked if she could have some string to make a necklace and a bracelet. She wanted to make them for her mom and dad. Great idea!
F stringing beads onto her necklace.
Monkey see, monkey do! J had to give it a try too.
F showing off her necklace.
Sorry about the finger in the picture. Just noticed it.
And to end off the sensory bin play time, J spent some time popping bubble wrap.
What would you put in your letter B themed sensory bin? Tell me in the comments. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUd0Y5qoTDtv-slLvP | It is hard to believe how quickly the past two weeks have passed. It seems like just yesterday it was a snow day on the first Sunday in June. The 4th of July was tons of fun. I went to the Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede on Friday. It was a good rodeo to go watch. And of course I went to Walmart to spend $170 on groceries. It makes for an expensive trip.
On the 4th I participated in a local reenactment of the Pony Express. 18 local riders take part in a ride from Hyattville to Ten Sleep carrying a mail bag. Each rider runs a mile of the route and passes on to the next rider. Katy Jane ran the 11th mile and I ran the 12th. We took all week riding our horses to get ready for the run on Saturday. Actually it was just a good excuse to be having a good run on the horses all week. After the ride, we all rode in the Ten Sleep parade. As we passed the MC introduced us and stated that there were even some international riders; one from France and one from 'someplace called Arkansas,' meaning Katy Jane and I. We got a kick out of that. We later returned to Ten Sleep for the Rodeo. There was a Wild Horse Race, and I have never seen one of those before. 7 teams are in a time race to be the first to catch, saddle, ride their horse to the end of the arena, and carry the saddle back to the chutes. It was pretty interesting to watch. we then returned to the ranch for a steak cookout and then once again returned to Ten Sleep for a street dance. Talk about an interesting 4th of July weekend.
Other than my activities around the 4th I have just pretty much been working from sunup to sundown. We have been busy swathing and baling hay, moving cattle that are getting out of their pastures in the mountains, and keeping up with the irrigation.
I have taken a few trips up the mountain on horse back and each time I get to go farther in moving cattle. There are some amazing views of the canyons and the look out over the Basin is unmatched. One day I took the 4 wheeler way up into the mountains to fix fences in our summer grazing pastures. There were some really long hikes that day. And of course all of the fences that were in the worst shape were on the steepest slopes. The fences take a lot of maintenance up there because there are several herds of elk in the mountains and they just trample the fences. I am hoping to get to stay at cow camp for a couple days later this month.
I fell off my horse while gather cattle the other day. Well maybe getting drug off is more like it. We were gathering cattle that had swam the creek from the pasture, and the creek was up pretty good. I was riding a stocky gray mare that had not been ridden at all this season. She did great tho. We were going through all sorts of willow brush and mud that was knee deep on her. I was a little worried that she might bog down a few times. Once we got the cattle gathered I followed them to push them on out of the river bottom and a bull took off in a thick willow brush. Well I tried to follow, and to put things short, the willows were too thick to ride through and I got drug off the horse and landed in a tree. All is well though. We finally got the bull out, but he swam back across the creek and my mare just dove right in the water after him. I thought that was good, but she did it again when we were pushing the bull across a ditch what was a good two foot deep. It was pretty fun riding cause she is an awesome cow horse and its always fun going swimming on horses, but I did get a little soaked and about needed to wash my jeans again when we landed on top of that bull in the ditch. Ha ha!
It is so hard to believe that I only have 4 weeks left here in Wyoming but I am enjoying every minute of it. Hyattville is such a small town and I am getting to know lots of people in the area. I love sitting down at the cafe and bar to listen to everyone's stories of that day's work and their family histories from the area. It must be awesome to have a ranch that has been in the family for a few generations.
I'm slightly jealous considering I've never been able to heard cattle. You'll have plenty of stories to share though when the semester starts :). I enjoy listening to stories of old farmers and ranchers is seems just as much as you do. My favorites were always my Papa's before he passed away. Sounds like a cool place to be for a country kid. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUenjxK7Dgs_aSVb21 | Therapy Dogs come in many shapes, sizes, and categories. We have all seen the trusted seeing eye dog, guiding his or her human through a maze of oncoming traffic. We have witnessed the joy a therapy dog brings to our elders at a nursing home, bringing with it love and compassion. We have watch viral videos of autistic children finding comfort and support by just being near a therapy dog. Therapy dogs are truly amazing, they ask for little but give so much.
And now we have found one more job for dogs to fill, reading assistant. Yes, it turns out the dogs are good listeners and enjoy a great book. And for children that have the fear of reading in groups or classes, they offer the chance to build up the confidence it takes to read to others. Most of us take for granted the ability to read to others, but for many children there is an extreme anxiety associated with public reading. Some fear humiliation and shy away from the practice, which in turn hurts the development of their education.
Reading programs across the country are taking note and incorporating our furry friends to help children build up the confidence it takes to become a confident reader. The program is quite simple really, all it takes is a book, a therapy dog and the child that just wants to read to someone and not feel judged. And thats secret to the program, the dogs do not judge the child, they do not snicker when the child fumbles over a word, they do not make fun of the child if they must start the sentence over, they simply offer a lovable sounding board that encourages the child to read outloud.
Programs like these just go to show how important therapy dogs are in society and how crucial it is for us the protect the concept of therapy dogs. Of late we have seen an increase in fraudulent uses of service and therapy dogs in society. We have witnessed the rise of corruption in the industry and society is starting to doubt the need for service and therapy dogs. But, for every fraud there is a story like this, dogs helping and assisting mankind and in return we love them more for it. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUc7o25V5irJ1Xw16s | Sunday is that day of the week when I prepare myself to fight for the week long battle about food. A battle that is fought against time and energy. Both are directly proportional to each other. When more time is involved, there is more energy lost. So as mothers we should get smart and handle the stressful week with a calm mind. Atleast pretend to have a calm mind 🙂 Yes that helps. It takes 2 hours of my time to get ready for the week. That's the time it takes to move the items on my list to the fridge.
Cooking rice and pasta or quinoa always makes it to the top most section of my to-do list. I alternate between quinoa, pasta, couscous, tabbouleh.
Being the true madrasi I am, my days are incomplete without spending time with idli or his cousin dosa or the distant cousin paniyaram. So sunday is also the idli-dosa batter grinding day. So that sums to three items that goes into the fridge.
I always (yes always) have eggs at home. They are one of the best ingredient in the world. They can be your breakfast, lunch or dinner. How cool is that? So that's our item No.4.
Next is fresh vegetables and fruits (pick the ones that are local & seasonal – from farmers market) as they become a snack by itself. I see salad with boiled eggs and some pasta as a meal on one of the weeknight.
Then throw in some Babybel or Galbani cheese, milk, yogurt and hummus into the fridge. That sums our top 10 items for the week.
I might also add some crackers, fruit roll ups and/or gummy bears to our list as treats for kids. I split the day into two halves. The morning hours are spent at the farmers market and grocery stores. The evening is dedicated for cooking and menu planning.
I have been working on creating easy recipes that can practically be created in 10-15 minutes. Are you reading about my #inhislunchbox ideas for kids?
I am sharing the recipe for a comfort food that is my favourite lunch food – Thengai Sadam but today it is with murungai keerai and quinoa.
Murungai keerai is also called as moringa leaves / malangai leaves. I am one of the luck ones to find farm fresh murungai keerai from our local bay area farmer's market. Our local Vietnamese farmers grow them and we find these fresh leaves all through summer. I use dry coconut for this recipe as this is packed my son's lunch and I always worry that California's heat might spoil the food made with fresh coconut. If you skip adding the rice or quinoa to the below recipe, it becomes yours everyday murungai keerai poriyal.
There is a sutle difference between Thengai Sadam and Thengai Paal Sadam. Thengai sadam is made like lemon rice where a base mixture is created and cooked grain is mixed with it. For thenga paal sadam, the rice is cooked with coconut milk and other spices.
Drizzle water, cover and cook for 8 minutes.
Mix the cooked rice, quinoa and salt to taste. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdeU4eIZjvTAIY1S4 | The Institute was much bigger than I had envisioned.
It was a labyrinth of corridors, rooms and secret corners. The walls were plastered white, the flooring a light brown linoleum. The offices were small, the labs were large. The floors were divided up according to their 'guests'. There was one for 'traitors', one for the 'delusional', one for the 'test subjects' and one very small area for 'children'. Of course, this is not what they were officially called. But that's how it translated when I was briefly informed of the different levels.
Waiting for the elevator, my eyes fixated on the label for the 2nd floor.
That was probably where they had kept Max when he was young.
Max squeezed my hand and I looked up at him. He gave me a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. He was nervous. As nervous as I was. But as usual, it didn't show on the outside. On the outside he was the epitome of calmness.
We weren't going to the 2nd floor. We were visiting the 4th.
I glanced at the label, just as the elevator dinged, announcing its arrival and the opening of the doors.
What Command would call traitors. The ones they would reprogram to believe that humans were to be used for their own benefit and make them follow Command's laws without blinking. The ones that had become rebels but were forced, through mind manipulation, to lose their own free will of thought and deduction.
Fortunately, a lot of those dissidents had been treated by James Dresden, the leader of the rebellion. He had made them temporarily forget what they were fighting for, making them believe that Command was correct, until their minds were unlocked at the right time. Hiding them in plain sight like a Trojan Horse.
Like they had done with my father. Locked away the information about aliens until a time when he might need it to protect his daughter.
The elevator was empty and quiet. No music to calm your nerves. Just a big metal box with buttons on the side wall.
I stepped close to Max as we entered. There were five of us; Dresden, Max's father, an Institute worker, Max, and me.
My jacket was too warm. It was bothering me. But before I had the chance to do anything about it, Max had reached over and pulled down on the zipper, opening it. I gave him a half-hearted smile, feeling stupid.
But ever since being a prisoners at the hands of aliens, small confined spaces made me nervous. I wouldn't call myself claustrophobic, but that might just be exactly what I had become.
Are you nervous? Max asked, despite knowing the answer.
I answered just to have something to talk about, Terribly.
He looped an arm around my waist and pressed me into his body. At first, I was afraid it would make me feel even more confined, but his proximity only calmed me.
We don't even know what we're doing. We don't know how we did what we did.
No. He was troubled. He was used to this place. However, undeterred by the fact that he had been held captive somewhere in this building and having spent time here as a child, it wasn't the surroundings that were troubling him. He was bothered by the fact that I was here. That his people were still demanding things from me. Demanding acts and favors. As if it was our duty to dance to their tune.
He was annoyed that we were still being used. That the war had not ended with the end of the battle.
Now we had to meet the remainder of Command's army. The men that Dresden and his men had spent the past two weeks rounding up. The men that were still hostile and firm believers in Command's rule. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUc0I5qYVBOT10JMPY | Q: Extra "row-level" data in ListView django I'm writing my first django app and can't seem to pass "row-level" data to the template through ListView. Specifically I'm trying to show all Polls and their corresponding Vote information using a PollListView.
Currently I am only able to pass all votes to the template, but would like to pass only the votes that belong to the specific poll.
models.py
class Poll(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=False, blank=False, db_index=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=80)
class Vote(models.Model):
poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll, unique=False, blank=False, db_index=True)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=False, blank=True, null=True, db_index=True)
vote = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=False, default='unset', choices=choices)
views.py
class PollListView(ListView):
model = Poll
template_name = 'homepage.html'
context_object_name="poll_list"
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(PollListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['vote_list'] = Vote.objects.all()
return context
urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^$', PollListView.as_view(), name="poll-list"),
}
homepage.html
{% for poll in poll_list %}
{{ poll.title }}
{% for vote in vote_list %}
{{ vote.id }} {{ vote.vote }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Seems like an easy task, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this using class-based views. Should I be using mixins or extra_context? Overwrite queryset? Or should I just used function-based views to solve this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A: I'm not sure if it's gonna work, but you can try the following:
models.py (Vote class)
poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll, related_name="votes", unique=False, blank=False, db_index=True)
views.py
class PollListView(ListView):
queryset = Poll.objects.all().prefetch_related('votes')
with that you can access related votes:
template
{% for poll in poll_list %}
{{ poll.title }}
{% for vote in poll.votes.all %}
{{ vote.id }} {{ vote.vote }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

BkiUaV025V5hc_OxvXym | The Ancestry of George Josiah Marsh
His grandfather, Lemuel Marsh, and his grandmother, Rosanna Warner
More of his family
His uncle Orrin Marsh
Orrin Marsh was born 18 February 1806 in St. Albans, Franklin, Vermont.[1]
He was by himself in 1830 on his property in Cattaraugus County next to his father, Lemuel.[2]
Some of Orrin's writings were printed at different times in the newspaper of his brother, Joseph Marsh. Here are some samples:
"In Rochester, the place of my former residence, I spent but one Sabbath; but had, in the course of the day the pleasure of visiting the old Methodist Chapel, where, in former years, I had seen hundreds of penitent souls bow for mercy; - attended two meetings in the court-house, where the dear Saints were filled with joy indescribable and full of glory.
"In this flourishing village, about five years previous, I experienced a hope in the blessed Redeemer. Here I was baptized, and united with the Christian Church; and here I first felt the irresistible impression to preach the everlasting gospel to my fellow men. And, O, the solemnity of my soul, while visiting those places where my mind had experienced so many changes, and felt displays of God's grace and power, especially the spot where I was baptized! While gazing on the pleasant water where I was immersed, my spirit was swallowed up, and for a while lost in the following train of reflections. Ah! thought I, where is that loving band of brethren, who once stood on this pleasant bank to witness my resurrection from a watery grave, whose souls were then filled with a lively hope of immortality, while they sang - Salem's bright King, Jesus by name! Shall I with them attain unto the glorious resurrection of the past? Shall I see them on the fair banks of deliverance, clothed in white, and blooming in eternal life; and shall I hear them, with the innumerable company of the Redeemer, shout loud the highest stroke of triumph - "O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?" Some of those dear saints already sleep in Jesus; while others, though scattered abroad, are still pursuing their heavenly journey; and may we also run, that we may obtain."
"Had the pleasure of visiting my beloved brother, Joseph, who then resided in the village of Jordan, but has since moved to the town of Clay, Onondaga County. He commenced in the ministry of Christ, while I was an inconsiderate youth in my sins. He had never heard me improve in publick until I visited him in Jordan; and our joy on meeting and uniting in proclaiming the precious gospel was indescribable. He has traveled extensively, suffered much, seen the glory of God manifested in numerous places, in the salvation of sinners, and is still steadfast in the gospel of Christ, and when I last saw him, he was engaged in a pleasing reformation in the town where he now resides."
"For some months past, it has been a time of deep interest in religion, among the different denominations of Christians in this vicinity. The Methodists, the Baptists, the Lutherans have all shared in the rich displays of the impartial blessings of that God who will crown with success the labors of the upright and holy, in every sect, denomination, and kingdom of the world. We also, have shared in his goodness. Since the first of last March, our numbers have been more than doubled; and I still think we have sufficient reason to hope that the good work is not yet closed. We have enjoyed, and still enjoy, a good degree of friendship with some of the Methodists and Lutherans. We have worshipped God in sweet union together. May the fellowship we now enjoy be strengthened, and long continue. May no other banner but love, ever be raised among us, and may no sectarian, or worldly interest ever cut in twain those tender and sacred ties which have so divinely bound our hearts in one."
"Finally, my dear brother, the cause of Christ is yet dear to my soul - for a few years past the rough storms of affliction and adversity, have beat heavily against my little back, and my destruction, as to earthly enjoyments, many times has seemed inevitable, but by the kindness of friends and brethren in Clay and Parish, and the blessings of that God who hears the ravens when they cry, I have been enabled to weather the storm, for which I am thankful."
"Finally, when I realize, that I am once more blessed with the sweet society of my dear brethren in Castile, who are mostly firm in the cause of Christ, and reflect on past scenes of trial and joy, my heart glows with gratitude to the giver of all good, for unmerited favors, and a hope of immortality kindles and burns within my breast; that when the rough storms of life are past, that I shall meet hundreds of these dear saints, with whom I have taken sweet counsel the winter past, where we shall forever solace in the ocean of God's eternal love."[3]
Orrin once wrote from Freedom, Cattaraugus County. There was an Orrin Marsh living there in the 1835 census, and he had a wife and daughter at that time.[4]
David R. Graham wrote that Orrin fluctuated between Universalism and Arminianism (conditional principles of immortality). Orrin was ultimately turned out of several churches in the Christian Connection for his reprobation. He served the Connection as a forceful leader and preacher with his brother, Joseph, for several years. More can be read about this through a book in Google Book Search that can be found by searching for Orrin's name.
Orrin took his own life, and he was buried in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester. The burial entry says only that he was interred 23 Dec 1839, he was 34, of Pittsford, and his body was put in the vault, meaning that a grave could probably not be dug at the time. His final resting place in the cemetery is unknown.[5]
Joseph Marsh wrote a short piece about his brother, Orrin, for a biographical sketch of Christian preachers. "Orrin Marsh was a younger brother of the proceeding. He became a talented preacher in the Christian Church, in which connection he continued until his death, with the exception of one year, when he was a Universalist. After his return to the church, he was a zealous and earnest worker until, in consequence of becoming deranged, he committed suicide."[6]

BkiUdrs4eIZjuQleCcCO | Jean-Georges Is Opening a Residents-Only Restaurant in the Country's Most Expensive Apartment Building

It's hard to imagine life could get any better for the high rollers living in the country's priciest skyscraper on NYC's Billionaire's Row—but it most definitely will: This September, they'll score an appetizing new neighbor who will bring Michelin-starred cuisine with him.
Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten will reportedly open a 54-seat, residents-only restaurant on the second floor of 220 Central Park, according to the New York Post. The information comes after a tipster, who asked to be identified as Upper West Sider, spotted Department of Health inspection records for the complex with a phone number linked to Vongerichten.

Meet the New Restaurants That Are Making Midtown Manhattan NYC's Hottest Dining Destination
The ritzy apartment complex, designed by famed architect Robert A.M. Stern, made headlines earlier this year when Ken Griffin purchased the penthouse for a monstrous $238 million—making it the most expensive home ever sold in the United States. The sale eclipsed the previous record by more than double, solidifying the area's reputation as one of the nation's wealthiest—and making it well worthy of exclusive haute cuisine.
The towering chef currently helms 36 restaurants across the US and far-reaching destinations—including Paris, Tokyo and London—but is most famously known for his eponymous eatery on Columbus Circle, which is a mere five-minute walk from the new site.

Vongerichten has taken a few bites of the Big Apple of late, opening a new seafood restaurant Fulton in Lower Manhattan as well as The Paris Cafe in JFK's former TWA terminal—now the brand new Hotel TWA. And while details on this latest culinary endeavor are scarce, we imagine he'll cook up something spectacular for his exclusive clientele—which also includes legendary rocker Sting who splashed out on a $65.7 million apartment in the building.
It's not unusual for prime real estate developments, like 220 Central Park South, to flaunt fancy private dining spots to appeal to buyers. In fact, a few blocks across town, residents of the equally opulent 432 Park Avenue enjoy exclusive access to award-winning Australian chef Shaun Hergatt and his Michelin-starred fare, while Central Park Tower—which is soon-to-be New York's tallest residential building—will boast an exclusive eatery on its 100th floor when it's completed in 2020.
The 220 Central Park South team and Jean-Georges Restaurants did not immediately return requests for comment, but if you're keen for a taste test, we suggest sidling up to a resident to score an invite to opening night.

Millau Viaduct: LafargeHolcim cement and concrete for the world's highest bridge!
Our business »
For the past 10 years, the Millau Viaduct – a web-like concrete and steel structure linking the cities of Béziers and Clermont-Ferrand – has carried tourists and locals on a breathtaking journey more than 340m above the ground. Considered to be the tallest cable-stayed road bridge in the world, it required technical expertise, total commitment from LafargeHolcim teams and our best cements and concretes.
A bridge which appears to float in the air…
In the early morning, its feet planted in the dense mist of the Tarn Valley, the Millau Viaduct is an almost celestial vision of a bridge floating in mid-air. Since its inauguration in December 2004, this majestic structure has been an unmissable feature in the landscape of central France, visited and photographed by thousands of tourists. The Millau Viaduct is also an important piece of road infrastructure, used by 40 million motorists since it opened.
Few of them suspect that its astonishing delicacy and harmonious curves conceals a colossus which required great technical skill. Did you know that it is 19m taller than the Eiffel tower and five times its weight? This record-beating bridge is 2,460m long, 343m high at its tallest point and its deck weighs more than 36,000 tons. Apart from its measurements, the volumes of materials used are also impressive, including more than 85,000m3 of concrete, twice the average amount needed for a big office building!
… Made possible by LafargeHolcim cements and concretes!
For our dedicated project teams, this bridge was primarily a human adventure: "The Millau Viaduct is a once in a lifetime project! A diverse, intense worksite, requiring availability at all times, including at night, in order to meet a tight schedule," says Alexandre Gilles, LafargeHolcim project manager during construction. "It was above all a fantastic human experience for all the worksite teams. And how proud we were to show people the viaduct once it was finished!"
The bridge was also an opportunity for the Group to promote our expertise:
our products: our cement, selected for its clarity and low hydration heat, and our ultra-high performance frost-resistant concrete with unique mechanical qualities.
and the quality of our services and installation: Alexandre Gilles recalls, "one memorable experience was pouring 2,700m3 of concrete which took more than 30 hours of concreting and the simultaneous use of 25 cement trucks! This corresponds the average monthly production from a concrete-batching plant … Unprecedented."
A project which won our customers' trust. "A relationship of trust was created straight away between the various worksite participants." For LafargeHolcim, the success of the Millau Viaduct led to further projects with Eiffage in subsequent years, including the Perpignan high-speed rail line.

Icebreakers Invites Toronto to Embrace Winter Through Public Art
Time to bundle up.
By Beatrice Paez
"Winter Diamonds" is shimmering constellation of jewels made of wood and polycarbonate sheets that take inspiration from snowflakes. Photo: Beatrice Paez
BY: Ellen O'Gara; Michaela MacLeod and Nicholas Croft
INSTALLATION: January 21 through to February 26, 2017
LOCATION: Toronto Music Garden; HTO Park; Queens Quay
A winter survivalist's guide might look like this: bundle up, locate the closest opening to an underground walkway, and make a dash for the cozy indoors.
For all the patriotic declarations of Canada as the "True North," we don't always appreciate winter. There's a whole network of tunnels underneath the city's surface to get lost in—the PATH in Toronto, the Underground City in Montreal—designed to minimize our exposure to the harsh elements of winter.
Icebreakers, a month-long exhibition of public art scattered along the waterfront, invites Torontonians to break out of their winter bubbles.
Tucked within an open field within the Music Garden, you'll find "Winter Diamonds," a shimmering constellation of jewels made of wood and polycarbonate sheets that take inspiration from snowflakes.
"I am inspired by the power of repetition, embodied in the snowflake structure," says artist Ellen O'Gara, of Platant, an architectural firm based in Denmark. "The diamond is a simple module, but when repeated, the structure becomes complex."
The parallels between the two designs aren't a stretch of the imagination. Snowflakes, or "snow crystals" as scientists refer to them, are also a lot more complex than how we tend to represent them.
We know that no two snowflakes are alike, but most images make them appear symmetrical. In truth, finding symmetry in snowflakes is a rare occurrence.
O'Gara designed the diamond cluster in the hopes of creating a "modern electric version of a bonfire" for the public to huddle around and converse.
That urban spaces can be transformed into a gathering place even in the bleakest months isn't a foreign concept to O'Gara. She stumbled upon Icebreakers's predecessor, Winter Stations, while doing research for her own installation for Copenhagen's equivalent, the Winter City exhibition.
O'Gara had to see Toronto's version in person, so she flew over in the thick of winter and was able to connect with project co-founder Ted Merrick, who later invited her to participate.
She was struck with the contrasts of Canada's winter, particularly the wild fluctuations in temperature that we've come to expect. "One day, [there was] 20 centimetres of snow, and the next day, the snow was out and people were wearing T-shirts," she says.
Michaela MacLeod and Nicholas Croft, the artists behind "Icebox," play with the idea of contrasts in the Canadian winter landscape: the seemingly lifeless physical world set against the intricate world that lurks underneath the surface of frozen water, and the warmth of the indoors juxtaposed against the freezing outdoors.
The black "Ice Box" rests on the man-made beach carved out at HTO Park. The box itself is a temple of sorts, a refuge to escape the blustery beach and a space intended for introspection.
